London: England midfielder Jordan Henderson insists under-fire Wayne Rooney won't let the boo boys throw him off his game. Rooney was jeered by England fans after the Manchester United star capped a lacklustre performance in his country's 2-0 win over Malta at Wembley on Saturday.

For England captain,  the taunts that greeted his underwhelming effort against minnows Malta were a new low.

But Henderson is confident Rooney will be able to ignore the boos because he has become accustomed to dealing with criticism throughout his career. "Wayne's experienced enough to know he has to concentrate on his football. I think he's had criticism for most of his career, like many players have," Henderson said.

"He deals with it very well. He's our captain and our leader. He's a fantastic player for England. I didn't really hear any boos, but we have to deal with it as professional footballers. There is going to be criticism along the way," Henderson said.
